The image provided is a diagram of the water cycle, and the task is to label each stage using the words:
Precipitation,
Collection,
Evaporation, and
Condensation. Below is the explanation and solution:
Water Cycle Stages:
1.
Top Left Circle (Clouds):
- This stage shows clouds in the sky.
-
Label: Condensation
-
Explanation: Condensation occurs when water vapor in the air cools down and changes back into liquid form, forming clouds.
2.
Top Right Circle (Rain with Lightning):
- This stage shows rain falling from the clouds.
-
Label: Precipitation
-
Explanation: Precipitation is the process where water falls from the clouds as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
3.
Bottom Left Circle (Sun over Water with Arrows):
- This stage shows the sun heating up water, with arrows indicating upward movement.
-
Label: Evaporation
-
Explanation: Evaporation occurs when water on the surface (like oceans, lakes, rivers) absorbs heat from the sun and turns into water vapor, rising into the atmosphere.
4.
Bottom Right Circle (Mountain with Water Flowing Down):
- This stage shows water collecting in a body of water (like a lake or river) after flowing down from a mountain.
-
Label: Collection
-
Explanation: Collection refers to the gathering of water in bodies like rivers, lakes, oceans, and groundwater after it has fallen as precipitation.
Final Answer:
- Top Left:
Condensation
- Top Right:
Precipitation
- Bottom Left:
Evaporation
- Bottom Right:
Collection
